Her studies indicate that 2 tablespoons of vinegar before a meal—perhaps, as part of a vinaigrette salad dressing—will dramatically reduce the spike in blood concentrations of insulin and glucose that come after a meal...

Although all three groups in the study had better blood readings after meals begun with vinegar cocktails, the people with signs of future diabetes—prediabetic symptoms—reaped the biggest gains. For instance, vinegar cut their blood-glucose rise in the first hour after a meal by about half, compared with readings after a placebo premeal drink...

...unlike the control group, none in the vinegar cohort gained any weight, and a few people lost up to 4 pounds. Average weight remained constant in the group not drinking vinegar...

Apple cider vingar, 1 1/2 tablespoons, in 12 oz ice cold water with splenda is good for skin and joints also. This is good stuff.

Not really, many books and articles in the 60s and notice apple cider vingar shows still at health food stores. I and people I know who used it all agree on skin and joints.

An old vermont doctor had first book, his name might have been Jarvis. I don't remember. Try a google search, you will see 1000s using it.
